Wilderness Elite Diary Novels & Stories

We had two days. Lieutenant Lasha, grim as ever, handed each team a thick leather-bound journal. "Inside are profiles of all known mutated creatures native to the evil forest. Weak points. Behavioral notes. Combat strategies. Study them. Or die." Nyomei flipped hers open. "This thick? Doesn’t this kind of make the mission easier?" I didn’t even look up. "No." "No?" "You can’t prepare for that forest. You can only survive it." The others went still. My tone wasn’t dramatic. Just certain.

I whisper hoarsely, my voice barely a breath against the overwhelming silence. The forest seems to close in on me, the once-comforting darkness now a suffocating void. I look up, hoping to see the familiar faces of my family, but instead, a low, menacing growl emerges from the depths of the woods. My heart pounds in my chest as a figure begins to materialize through the gloom. A large, black wolf steps into view, its eyes glowing a haunting blue. Its coat is sleek and glossy, a stark contrast against the dark backdrop of the woods. A white diamond-shaped tattoo gleams on its forehead, catching the faint light and casting eerie shadows.

The sky above was a natural indigo, with no signs of digital typography. Elara was lying in a forest with no sign of the highway or the Sterling Spire. Her right hand was free but was hurting. There was a scar on her palm but the skin was whole. Beside her, half-buried in leaves, was the black leather journal. It was dry with one line of fresh ink on the last page. Elara wasn't alone. Someone was walking down the hill crunching through twigs. Elara froze, her hand around the journal.

Friday. Slide Mountain Wilderness, NY. NEARLY SIX HOURS LATER, they had a location. Or at least they hoped they had one. Jamie didn't quite understand the techno-jargon Diha had thrown at them. What he did know was that backtracking the signal on Nate's cell phone to a location deep in the woods of rural New York was equal parts a guessing game and following the digital breadcrumbs.

‘You can borrow that if you like,’ Diamanda said, looking up briefly from the wafer-thin portable computer notepad she’d pulled out of her other pocket. ‘Er... Thanks.’ He closed the book, not daring to read further. The prose was inflammatory to say the least, at a moment when his senses were burning already. One of the strangest, most compelling women he’d ever met was consulting an electronic diary to see if she could fit him in for a sexual quickie! It seemed about as likely as one of his masturbatory fantasies, and yet it was happening.

The moonlit night embraced us, and the woods beckoned. With each step, I revelled in the primal connection with the earth and the wilderness. The moon, a silent witness to our escapade, cast its ethereal glow upon the forest floor. My wolf body moved effortlessly through the shadows, guided by instincts that were too often suppressed in our human lives.

"So our clues are the wilderness, the sky, and the ground bubbling up. That doesn't really narrow it down." "But it all points to Yellowstone." The flat, even voice of their leader behind them made both Xavier and Jackson jump. Despite the fact that they were on the most exciting hunt of their lives, Xavier hadn't seen Roth crack a smile even once. The guy was brilliant, sure, but he really needed to learn how to have fun, to let himself enjoy the thrill of what they were doing. What was the point, otherwise?

As well, without knowing what direction they would be coming from. ‘What good am I, if I can’t pinpoint danger and stopping it, before it strikes?!” It wasn’t the first time Ava had thought of that. She hated feeling useless in this way. It had been a long while since she had been out in the woods, away from a house. She was starting to feel a little out of control.

With doubts, Jim did give him a chance and he turned out to be one of the most trusted employees. Elizabeth, young and beautiful, just like her name implies. She had been friends with Jim before he went to prison. There was drama when Jim employed her because Sophie felt he was treating her differently than the other employees. He was being too kind to her, they would take workers breaks together, eat together, they were generally being too close. Sophie wasn't entirely fine with it but she kept it in until she found out they weren't just hanging out in the work area, they were also visiting each other's houses. That was where she drew the line. She went to Elizabeth's house to confront her

All the three wolves disappeared from the woods in a flash, despite being injured, a quality, rogue wolves had developed over the years, they were extremely swift at escaping. “Cowards!” Elio screamed in the direction the wolves had fled, he was burning with rage, his eyes brimmed with angry tears, as he turned into his human form and scampered back towards his mother, who had turned back to a human too. “Maa!” Elio gasped, as he fell on his knees beside his mother, taking her head on his lap. Diana had a large open wound on her right shoulder, which was oozing blood without a stop.
